National Weather Service seeking Monday night storm reports

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The National Weather Service in Indianapolis is asking Hoosiers for reports of damage caused by severe storms that moved through central Indiana late Monday evening.

NWS Indianapolis put the call out for information Tuesday morning in a post titled, “Seeking storm reports – surveys possible.”

“A couple of suspected tornado reports have been received, but we are seeking additional information from other parts of the area — any suspected damage, not just possible tornadoes,” the weather office wrote on X .

The weather service says the storms brought heavy rain and “isolated reports of possible tornado damage.”

There is also suspected tornado damage near the town of Perkinsville on the Hamilton-Madison county line, with a possible touchdown “east-southeast of New Castle.”
